Suggs Expected to Play Against Hornets Despite Injury

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, despite a left hamstring injury sustained in Saturday's game against the Pistons. Suggs, who played only nine minutes in that game, was initially doubtful but has since assured he is 'good' and ready to play. His absence or presence is crucial, as he is a key contributor, averaging 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game this season. If Suggs is unable to play, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony are expected to step up. Coach Jamahl Mosley confirmed the diagnosis as a sore left hamstring and noted Suggs' resilience as a player. The Magic's injury report does include Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr., who remain sidelined due to their respective injuries.
